In a post-match interview brimming with his characteristic dry wit, Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou issued a brilliant retort to Arsenal supporters who targeted him with chants during his side's crucial 3-1 victory over Nottingham Forest.
The win, secured by goals from Mickey van de Ven, Pedro Porro, and an own goal, keeps Spurs' flickering hopes of a top-four finish and Champions League football just alive. However, the atmosphere was charged with the usual rivalry of the Premier League's final stretch.
'They Find Me Entertaining!' - Postecoglou's Brilliant Comeback
When informed that the travelling Arsenal faithful had been heard singing 'Ange Postecoglou, he's so boring' during their own match against Bournemouth, the Spurs boss didn't miss a beat.
'Yeah, but they're singing my name!' he quipped with a smirk. 'If they know my name, they must find me at least a little bit interesting, right? I'm going to take it as a compliment. They're singing my name, so I'm going to be entertained by that.'
A Vital Victory in the Top-Four Race
Beyond the banter, the three points were desperately needed for Tottenham. The victory halts a dismal run of form and applies a modicum of pressure on fourth-placed Aston Villa.
The match itself was a tense affair. After going ahead early, Spurs were pegged back by a Chris Wood equaliser, threatening another disappointing result. However, second-half strikes from Porro and van de Ven sealed a hard-fought and emotionally critical win for the North London club.
The result means the battle for the final Champions League spot will go down to the last day of the season, setting up a dramatic finale to the Premier League campaign.
